The Masquerade Last Night.

The masquerade ball last night CIV
Ell by the congregation of the Shareth
Israel for the benefit of their Sabbath
School was very largely attended and
was one of the most beautiful fairy
scenes looked upon in long time.
There we're at least 250 masquer',
most of whom wore rich and hand
some costumes. The younger people
especially looked charming and the
bright, gay and rich colors, with all
the tints and shades of the rainbow,
was a sight worth seeing. Out of all
this beauty it was difficult for the
judges to select the finest costume, etc,
but Miss Y. Levy carried off the prize,
Miss Nathan Mittenthal received the
prize for the best acting character,
and Mr.. S. Baldauf for his preseDta-
ton of the Hebrew fortune teller.
These characters were excellent and
well worth the distinction they re-
ceived.

Hot Weather Nuisances.

During this hot weather it becomes
very necessary to keep the premises
neat and clean. There is constant
tendency for the debris of a household
to gather in some corner or place where
it may soon become a ranking nui-
sance. No man who lives in a crowd
ed community has right to keep his
premises in such a filthy condition that
they are a constant nuisance to the
health of his own family and the neigh
borhoOd. Yet there are plenty of lust
such men in all communities. We saw
men because they are the head of the
household, but in reality these remarks
are adapted to women in more practi-
cal sense, as they are more directly in
charge Ofaffairs about the house dur.
ing the absence of the men at work.
10 plead with such people, to remon-
strate with them, and then to permit
them to do exactly as they please is
not enough. The best interests of the
general public demand that short work
should be made with all who wantOnlv
disregard the simplest principles of
cleanliness and make their premises
the breeding ground of disease and
death. Nothing will reach such peo-
pie but summary action, that will
bring them before the proper authori-
ties. This is a very unpleasant remedy
but better this than to suffer from NAL
ignant diseases engendered by uncIean
premises in the neighborhood. Soft
word are lost on persons who persist in
neglecting proper sanitary measures to
ward oh disease and death. In such
times as these every man in commu.
nifty should become a self-delegated
private detective to detect nuisances
not only in the community. If every
household would live as they should
and keep their premises clean, there
would be no need of this apparent pry-
ing into other peoples business, but
which becomes everybody's business
when nuisance is created.

The country will watch with much
interest the result of the election in
Texas this week to decide the prOhibi-
tiOn issue. Party lines have been Obli-
terated in the contest, and there seems
to be fair chance for an honest count.
Many Democrats favor prohibition in
order to keep liquor from the ColOred
men, as it demoralizes the laboring
class. There appears to be enough
Democrats on that side to secure a fair
election, and the comparison of the vote
with other elections will be instructive.
The contest has at least demonstrated
the wisdom of keeping the prohibition
issue free from party entanglements.

Profits on General Grants Book.

There have been many stories pub
lished concerning the success and prof
its of General Grants memories. Here
is the latest from the Book Buyer:
" The $494, 900 which Mrs. Grant has
received from the sales of her husbands
work, represents 20 per cent. of the
gross profits on the publication, which
have thus far amounted to about $780,
900. The gross receipts from the sale
work have amounted to not far from
$3,0OO,OOO. There have been sold 312,-
600 sets at an average of probably 50 a
set, which fOots up to $2,SOS,OOO as a
fair estimate of what the public has
paid for this work. The skins of 1000
goats and 10000 sheep have been used

For The Smyrna Times.
Don't Worry.

One of the very best ways to get over
a spell of hot weather is to be on the
lookout to make sacrifices for the per-
sonal comfort of others. If you are
married your first duty is to give toddy
and tobacco the 60 by and refund the
money it takes to buy these useless
luxuries into the hands of your wife
who will judiciOusly invest it in grub
for Pic-nics as the time rolls by. In
addition to your health being improved
by the abstinence, your strength will
be such as to enable you to lug the
lunch basket filled to dustin" over
the picnic grounds, which is not al
ways to be selected under two or half
dozen circuits.
As you will be permitted to rest for
a few moments fan yourself as best you
can with your straw and take in the
wide sweep of Bay and think what a
delightful time they must have on
those mysterious ships out there as
they pass each other in silence. Re-
Elections like these will improve your
contact with the world, and, you
are now in good trim to tote water as
it is needed for the various purposes of
pic-nics. Congratulate yourself that
he who has many children has " fear
ful pleasure" on a picnic.
The day may be blistering hot, of
course it is, who ever heard of pic-nics
undertaken at Christmas, and the hot
ter it is the closer you must be at hand.
Of course you don't drink nor smoke !;
what possesses you to pine for the COM
pany of men? Amt there the bay to
look at, what more do you want, and
remember that the baskets are much
lighter when emptied. Besides, what
did you "ship" for when you would,
marry. Think OfyOur having no fires
to make, no coal to carry up from the
cellar, nor ashes to screen (being care
ful to pick out all the black pieces)
these things should engage your atten-
ton and cause you to let out another
link" in your efforts to be cheerful
study up some things you used to find
in " COmly's Primer" that " man wants
but here little below" and endeavor to
recOncileyOurselftO the fact that you are
not the only one who fills the "bill. ~
OF course among your unmarried
friends there will be more or less com.
ment and tittering, but don't mind
them. They are futtering over the
same flame that singed your wings,
only you are "cOtched" and they-well
dear-dOn't you think it is time to
gather up our things for home-Yes
darling I will. La-la-ta-ta. AJAX.

"Tell me-" he whispered with the
hOarseness of emotion, whispered as if
he feared the murmuring surf might
catch the question and bear it to some
other ears. "Tell me, have you ever
loved?"
She trembled. She hesitated for a
moment, and he thought he felt her
blushes glow into his eyes. She trem-
bled, and in still, soft whisper, gentle
as the summer breeze, answered. "Not
